Business

Kenya is historically an entrepreneurial society, and with half of its population still living in poverty, Kenya's private sector is recognised as a primary engine for economic growth.

The overall objective of Danida's development policy is to contribute to poverty reduction. One key towards this end is promoting economic growth and employment creation, especially for the youth, in the private sector.

The development cooperation for private sector growth in Kenya consists of a general business sector development programme (Business Sector Programme Support II), and efforts to promote business-to-business cooperation (Danida Business Partnerships). Taken together, they seek to support the development of an enabling business environment, promote micro, small and medium sized enterprises (MSMEs) and create employment.
